My Dungeon Life: Rise of the Slave Harem-Chapter 1599
“You think the Fey have sailed her from over the seas to invade Faerith?”
“I know that is what is happening.” She responded, giving a little smirk.
“So, they took care of our little pirate problem? Aren’t they just doing us a favor?”
“Taking the pirates was just a matter of convenience. There were supplies, ships, slave labor, and a port that they could launch their invasion from.” She shrugged.
I wanted to argue more, but what she was saying was starting to make sense. With the pirate stronghold under their control, they could probably launch all kinds of attacks. At the moment, they had just been attacked feeling out our defenses. They wanted to know where we were at our weakest, but they didn’t want us to think that it was something major and mobilize our forces. In a way, Prince Edward had made the right decision by treating the situation so seriously, or they might have already landed on Aberis’s shores.
“What about the Tearfall Isles? Why have they come down here?” I demanded.
“They’ve come for the same reason anyone comes to the Champion’s Gauntlet…” She responded flippantly.
“Anyone… “I frowned, and then my eyes widened. “They want to complete the gauntlet and take whatever reward the dungeon master is offering?”
She snapped her finger. “Exactly. At the end of the Champion’s Gauntlet is an extremely dangerous power. The gauntlet was created a long time ago to prevent that power from falling into the wrong hands. Only someone who is determined worthy will be granted the power. The Fey seek that power, which they will use to begin their invasion on Faerith.”
“How do you know all of this?” I asked suspiciously.
“There are some things that I know, and some things that I do not know.” She shrugged. “This happens to be something I’ve very knowledgeable about.”

“I have verified anything she has said.” The Inquisitor cut in, “Give me a few days, and I will know the truth of these words.”
“In a few days, they’ll have already finished the gauntlet. If they already are on the SS island, then they might even finish it tonight.” Eliana declared.
“Please… the islands are hardly so easy.” Calypso waved her hand dismissively. “Even they need to sleep and rest. They won’t attempt to take the SS until tomorrow, and the SSS will take even longer than that.”
“Then, our best option is to go to the SSS boss room and wait for them.” I declared.
“You wouldn’t have a chance.” Calypso chuckled.
“I’m not so weak!” I shot back.
If I gathered my girls and we all worked together, I believed we could make it to the boss room, especially if we did it before the fog appeared. Then, we could plan out a trap.
Calypso only shook her head. “You misunderstand. No matter how powerful you are, you’ll be handicapped by the dungeon. They will defeat you because they have the gauntlet’s blessing.”
“What do you mean?”
“Have you not heard how this gauntlet works? Every time you beat a boss, you are awarded an enchantment. This enchantment lasts for a specific amount of time. You must collect the enchantment from the previous island before fighting the next boss. If you do not, you’ll be significantly disadvantaged.”
“I may have heard something like that,” I responded dismissively. “However, what does that have to do with them?”
“By the time they reach you, they’ll already have collected five of the six enchantments. All six are needed to enter the final boss room. At best, they’ll initiate the battle and you’ll be kicked out, forced to wait on the sidelines. At worst, the enchantments will allow them to easily overpower you and your allies, and you all die. If you want any chance of victory, you’ll need to do the gauntlet!”
